BOPX EZ Valve Automated Valve Alignment System

Process Efficiency

Process efficiency is an important factor to reducing operation cost and increasing productivity. Process efficiency in BOP testing can decrease the testing time exponentially, streamlining the process from beginning to end. Digital chart records have created a simple and objective way to chart tests, but what about the time between the tests, the time spent lining up valves and pumping up to pressure? Furthermore, how do you also ensure that the tasks between the tests are done correctly? BOP testing is not limited to verification. There are 13 steps to BOP testing, only two of which include verification. The remaining 11 steps include preparation, configuration, and pressurization. These “in between” steps can cost more time and money than the actual testing time or verification period.
